@@nullobject7966 Challenge accepted. How many people did you tell about this video? None, neither did I. Why because it wasn't exciting enough. Now how many buddies would you tell to watch the video if he did catch something. 1 or 2, because you got to show your fishing buddy or dad. How many people are they going to show? Probably the same. It's an exponential increase, aka going viral. Damn I love being right!
Well technically a fishing rod is like a trap, you can set the bait out and just leave it well lodged so if you get a big one it can't pull the rod away
@@jirredvang901 I understand what you are saying. But, fish can get away from a hook and as an avid fisher they can get away a lot. just the way it is. And if you leave it out there while you are getting all the other things done that need to get done like finding insane amount of fire wood, getting your sleeping area off the ground if possible, setting up a very safe area from weather and animals, setting up a signal fire, setting up a food safe area so animals can't get to it and on and on and more and more. It is best to set up a trap that will not only last but will hold what ever gets caught in there.
I used to fish like this as a kid in Florida. We used dacron line but cut our own cane for poles, used rocks or shells as weights and made gorges from twigs, rib bones rom big ole catfish, chicken bones and pop cans. We never had a problem catching fish. Getting our tackle back was a different story. The fish usually swallowed the gorge so we'd either have to cut them open to get it back or have a stock of more to retie. My uncle who qas a boyscout taught me and my cousin how to make and use everything. Nothing like catching fish on equipment you made yourself.
@@WaraiOni15 taking or attempting to take fish by any method, and all other acts such as placing, setting, drawing or using any device commonly used to fish whether resulting in such taking or not. Not catching but attempting to catch.
I grew up in rural Alabama. I learnt as a youngster, best way to catch crawdads real quick. Find a smaller stream bed. Flip over rocks gently so as not to murk up the water and watch where the crawdad goes. All you need is a cup. Crawfish always run away backwards but can't see backwards. Spend a good hour or two (which you'd spend fishing anyways ) and you don't even need to fish. You gotta crawfish feast! Dandelions and wild lettuce grow everywhere too so you got you're vitamins. Don't forget the wild strawberries, blackberries and muscadimes!
@@seekeroftruth5656 you want 20 feet of water at night with a green light and chad for bass. And you can catch 100+ each in a night. You want a foot long fish for catfish living.then you catch 20+ pound catch fish. Ive been fishing 100z of times. And ive tried crawfish. Lots of time ive never gotten a bite not on bottom not floating with a bober. Horrble bait. P.s if your after large mouth bass you want chad and a bober mornings or evening near trees in the water. And all your fake baits suck.. But feel free to tell me what you caught using them? Not what people say they work for. Cause there bad bait.
Agree. But I love catching them with my hands. They fish well as bait, but you need to think about what you're casting into with a live crawdad, and snapping their claws off is a must if you're going to let them sit. On the downstream side of a sandbar near a channel is ideal, but give the line a little yank and reel in every minute or so to keep the bug from digging in.
Well the funny thing is and a lot of people don't seem to realize this if you keep your fishing line out of direct sunlight like in your tackle box it'll last a long time I have the same spool of 6 lb test fishing line that I've been using for the last 20 years. Every single year usually in the spring pull off about 25 ft of old worn in line on your fishing reel and you can use the same fishing line on your reel for several years. A lot of people also don't seem to realize even if disaster strikes tomorrow there's so much fishing line that people have access to on this planet that it'll take at least 200 years for fishing line to run out. It's good to know the skills in an emergency situation if you don't have any equipment or gear but majority of the time it's just easier to keep a compact micro fishing kit on you. Another thing a lot of people forget is when you pull split shot weights made of lead off of fishing poles and they've been crushed to the point you can't open them anymore you can pound those flat and then fold them over on your line and reuse them again.
@@noway57 it's only used for lake fishing, I don't use 6 lb anywhere other than a lake. If I'm going on a canal or a river I'm using at least 12 to 20 lb
@@ranranpoopants ok what, at dusk they'll feed on smaller fish along the banks of farm ponds in Indiana. Not that hard to catch a baby fish and put thorns under the spine. Just takes some creativity.
@@RugMann ha ha ha, no it was off some thorn tree that grows wild in the woods of Indiana. They get to be about 3 in. and sturdy. Besides I had enough ingenuity as a kid that grew up on a farm even to know that like a crank bait, I'd need more than one "hook". 🤯🙄
You can also use chicken leg bone. Waterproof and much stronger. I caught a big catfish with it. I use charlie blood catfish bait and when the fish run, let it run for like 10 seconds so it can swallow it fully before setting the hook.
I was at our favorite fishing hole this Spring but my wife hadn't shown up yet in the car that had the tackle boxes. But I had my rod with me. There were some miniature baby pine cones that hadn't formed yet, all around the base of a tree that looked just like caterpillars. Green body with red tip looking like a head. I put one of those on my hook and caught a bass on the second cast. That whole weekend out, I never caught another one using all my different tackle.
of course he didnt, he would have shownit... this guys is a joke. He finds things on the internet, and shows us "how to do it" Id bet hes never actually done any of this stuff in real life.
last time i checked it's fishing, not catching.. You know how hard it is to catch fish with primitive tech? Get off youtube and go fishing yourself, peepaw@@mattduncan49221
@@Pfilibusteryeah I really like his videos. So we he always into survival tips and stuff? Seems like he's gathered quite a bit of this info through his life.
I have a stone fish hook. They were more popular for trading that actually using. Fish hooks were mostly made from antler and fish bones. One big gar has huge shoulder blades for carving whatever you want.😮
Because _of course_ the damn gar have shoulder bones. We're lucky they don't do something crazy like grow natural fish bowls over their heads so they can come steal cat food off of porches.
We had an old bamboo pole. We would practice in the backyard catching grass carp!! LOL! I caught the biggest bluegill my dad had ever seen when I was little.
You never catch a fish this way. However, it is indeed possible to fish without a hook. A common method of catching carp is using a clothing button. Pressed sunflower seed cake is used, which attracts carp. The fish begins to “suck” the cake, and any debris that gets into the fish’s mouth is thrown out through the gills. A button, which is tied with a leash near the sunflower cake, interferes with the fish and is thrown out through the gills in the same way, after which the fish will not leave. It will remain in place until the morning, when the fisherman returns to his gear, which he left for the night. This is called the “gill method” and it is prohibited in many regions, but it is still widespread and used in those reservoirs where many large carp live.
@@goodcitizen3780 Look, I’m not saying that it’s absolutely impossible to catch fish with this method. But this method is not reliable. Our distant ancestors probably used it when there were no hooks. But then, a couple of thousand years ago, the rivers were full of fish, not like now. In addition, then, in that ancient era, the fish in the rivers had not yet undergone evolutionary selection on the principle of distrust of fishing bait. Now, even with modern fishing gear, which is close to perfection, anglers are often left without a catch. And with this method shown in the video, a modern angler can spend years trying to catch a modern fish. And this will be the result of an unlikely and surprising event, and not a fairly expected reliable result. One way or another, this method is definitely not suitable for survival. You and I will starve to death 10 times before we catch food this way. And yes, I apologize for my English. This is not my native language.
@@ecologygarden Great point. It can work in your favor. Only, probably not using it like he has it in the video. The notch should be off center and the short side should be the lowest point, farthest from the shore side of the line. It should not be weighted the way he does it because, with the thickness of the line, the fish will come from the bottom to pluck the bait away from the line. Once there is tension, the short side will try to flip upward, and, if the gorge is made very sharp, or even barbed, it will lodge into the animal's muscle.
The most effective tool the native american indian used was a gaff. Just take a pole with a solid limb that points back up the pole. Put a point on it, and for then they could catch a month's worth of fish in a day. Mostly due to there being 95% more fish to be gotten then.
This guy had a real proper dad. Taught him how to survive outside of living in the city. Vids like this are what the homeless that are living in the city need to seek out when they visit the local library computer. 😏
It’s fed people for centuries, he’s just trying to get you to realize that at some point you may not have the new tech to fall back on Not a bad tid bit to know when all you have is a knife and knowledge
@@seekeroftruth5656at this point in time, there will _always_ be a soda can nearby to turn into a lure. Or a shirt button. Or a feather. And there are more effective hook systems than a toggle barb.
"I made about 13 feet of cordage so let's go fishing" is like Steve Martin saying "You can be a millionaire and never pay taxes. First, get a million dollars. Okay, next..."
A spring loaded fish trap with this same setup would be better suited in a survival situation because you can set multiple and do other tasks, no guarantee youll catch anything but greatly increases the odds the more traps you set. Survival is a calories and daylight game, work smarter not harder, traps hunt for you even when you sleep
The goal is to get the fish to swallow it down. This isn't a catch and release system. This is for food. Trying to set this setup in it's mouth by yanking on the line will only dislodge it. Wait before reeling it in. It'll work.
i was told by other fisherman that fish are getting smarter everyday to notice the bait, the line, and etc. so, it's like a race between fish cognition and human fishing technology. fishing with that setup might be viable for the old days, but definitely way way harder for now.
My brothers and I used to catch crawdads on vacation to cook in our motel room. We found out that they're super curious and if you stand still for a bit, they all come out of hiding to look at your toes because they don't know wtf this new thing in the water is. And that's when you nab them 😂 we would legit borrow a pot from the motel room, drive to the river, fill it with crawdads and drive back to cook them with some lemon juice and some kind of Mrs. Dash seafood mix or something like that. Tasted like shrimp.
Ah come on. So far your channel has been great. This video was unfinished though.... For those that don't believe this works- it does but not without patience. This video needed a catch added.
This is the real reason I always have canned food and even after eating it I keep the can. The curved rims of Cans usually have a hollow seam where they roll the edges of the can so you don’t cut yourself. You can make lures, hooks, sinkers all of just a can. I usually use a little piece as a snapshot when fly fishing.
Forget the fish, if I have crawdads I'm eating crawdads. If you can get it, yucca makes a *_much_* finer line than dogsbane. Also, use a piece of bone instead of wood
Dogsbane grows much further east than yucca. Also, one piece of crawdad becomes a much larger piece of fish, which is why you would do this- this is probably a "day 2" or "day 3" thing.
Nice thing about catching crawdads if you are having a hard time catching them cause they keep trying to get away. Get it to pinch you with its claws! They don’t let go so no need to put much effort into catching it. Then grab it and break off the claw… to get it to let go!! Put it in a bucket and go after the next one!
*be sure and angle your approach from a tail forward position, if you're straight up or forward, they CAN (and will) pinch you... though it's rare to break the skin
Если нужно поймать рыбу, чтобы выжить, то никто не будет заморачиваться с такой конструкцией. Палку заточил с одной стороны и погнал колоть самых крупных особей. Ну или, если нужна рыба поменьше, то можно палкой прорыть "бассейн" с "перемычкой", куда рыба заплыть сможет, но не сможет выплыть.
i dont know how well this would work but to help conceal the line a bit better try rubbing some charcoal or something similar on it to make the line black so its harder to see in the water
Always worried about fish seeing my line, but only in lakes where they've somehow evolved the intelligence to distinguish it from anything else that people throw in thier habitat constantly. Great vid, can't wait for part 2 where you catch something
